Community Through Conversation

Formerly "Coffee Chats"

Come spend an hour or so with other parents as we gather to mingle, and to listen to speakers and share ideas on topics that are relevant to our children, our school, and ourselves. Conversations are sponsored by the Parents’ Association and are held in the morning after drop off in the Verdile dining room in Founders. Coffee is served, of course, and delicious baked goods are usually provided by an attending parent. It’s casual, comfortable, informative-please stop by!
